Paris Saint-Germain went out of their way to keep Kylian Mbappe in their ranks. The Qatari owners made him the highest paid player in the world and even the president of France joined the persuasion efforts. However, after signing a new contract, the Paris star is at the center of a storm in France following reports of shaky relations with coach Christophe Galtier and also with the management, who broke a promise to sign a senior striker this summer.
After “Radio Monte Carlo” claimed that Mbappe would try to realize his departure already this January, in Spain they take these reports a step further and claim: the great star wants to leave the club immediately and as early as tomorrow he will be in Madrid, perhaps as part of the promotion of his move to the ranks of the European champions. As is known, Mbappe will play today with Paris Saint-Germain against Benfica at the home of Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League, and according to the report, he will be in Spain tomorrow.
It should be noted that in a report by “Marca” journalist Marco Cortegna, a departure in January seems impossible because Paris Saint-Germain refuses to sell him to Real Madrid. However, according to the news, it will consider selling him to Liverpool.
Remember, Mbappe signed a new contract until 2025 only last May, although he was very close to moving to Real Madrid. The Blancos still want the player, who according to many is considered the best in the world today. Mbappe scored eight league goals in just nine appearances and three more goals in the Champions League, but sent implicit criticism to Galtier after the 0:0 against Reims in the last round.
Either way, in order to sign Mbappe, Real Madrid will have to pay a transfer fee and also pay a huge salary to the striker, but there is no doubt that from a professional point of view the Blancos, who have only one striker in the squad, are desperate for reinforcements in the attacking part and may open their wallets for the biggest asset of all.
